New Riff’s Sour Mash Single Malt Kentucky Whiskey represents a bold departure from traditional whiskey-making, merging Old World inspiration with Kentucky’s iconic sour mash technique. This innovative spirit is crafted from up to six distinct mash bills, each contributing unique flavors and characteristics to the whiskey. It’s slowly matured in a variety of cask types, allowing the whiskey to develop a rich complexity and depth. The mash bills include a range of malts, from classic British and Scotch whisky malts to heavily smoked peated barley and heirloom varieties, resulting in an unprecedented and provocative expression. Distilled using a column beer still and doubler, this whiskey weaves together malty flavors with oaken influences, creating a truly distinctive addition to the New Riff lineup.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Medium amber with shimmering copper highlights, inviting the eye with its warm glow.

Nose: The aroma is broad, deep, and heady, filled with numerous barrel notes, including oaky, sherried oak, and toasty nuances. With time and a splash of water, it reveals a wealth of complex grainy details, showcasing grassy-mineral malt, dark fruit cacao nibs, and a bright citrus blend of orange and lemon, rounded out by a wisp of smoke and ozone.

Taste: On the palate, the oak is prominent and layered, showcasing notes of oloroso sherry, red wine, and new oak. The texture is chewy and slightly drying but not tannic. Adding water transforms the experience, resulting in a strikingly juicy entry with bright fruit and citrus peel. The body is big and Kentucky-style, with a savory, soft texture and layers of red and dark fruit, cocoa powder, grassy-nutty malt, hints of sherry oak, and a subtle suggestion of smoke.

Finish: The finish is exceptionally zesty and delicate, with fruity components of raspberry, tangerine rind, and bergamot-orange. These flavors are elevated by a whiskey-ozone airiness and framed with sherry-branded oak, culminating in notes of late lemon curd and a vanishing air-kiss of peat smoke.
